Habitat fragmentation is considered to be one of the main causes of population decline and species extinction worldwide. Furthermore, habitat fragmentation can decrease the ability of populations to resist and to recover from environmental disturbanc

Heathlands are severely threatened by decreasing habitat quantity and quality. In these habitats, bryophytes form an important component of plant diversity. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the effects of management and adjacent

The large losses of heathland area since the end of the 18th century can be expected to have resulted in the decline or even extinction of many characteristic heathland species. Historical data on plant species distribution patterns can provide valua

The aims of this study were to examine how adjacent land use, in this case cropland and forest, affects the heathland plant community and soil chemical composition, and whether potential edge effects differ according to adjacent land use type or edge

Heathland area in the northwestern part of Belgium has been strongly reduced during the past 200 years, and the remaining heathland is forced back into several small and isolated relics. In this study, we investigated how the fragmentation of these h

Aim To study the effects of the degree of fragmentation of heathland patches on their species richness and species composition, and to infer the ecological mechanisms behind the observed patterns. Location The heathland patches of the north-western p

It is known that habitats composed of spatially heterogeneous abiotic conditions provide a great diversity of potentially suitable niches for plant species. The scientific premises of landscape ecology suggest that, at a higher spatial level, also th
